Milwaukee Brewers Halt 12 Percent Malt Tonic
Prohibition Commissioner James M Doran ordered Milwaukee brewers to cease immediately the manufacture of 12 percent malt tonics and restrict 1 percent versions. Effective immediately tonics must derive at least 18 percent malt solids and under 2 percent alcohol by volume, all tonics to be bottled and distributed under existing restraints. Manufactures say the move could shutter an industry worth over 2 million dollars annually and many fear substantial losses. Some brewers planned no legal challenge and will adjust to the new rules as production stops.
